Maybe this is why Marques Johnson transferred to State ...
... by now you've probably heard all about how Tennessee men's coach Bruce Pearl showed up at the women's game against Duke without a shirt, with his chest painted orange and with a big V across it (he was the V in VOLS, by the way).
Just because we care, we wanted to make sure you saw this as well. Parents, you may want to make sure your kids are in another room.

3) We get the whole "raising the profile of the program through flashy antics" bit. Hey, we had the red shoes and shades of Chuck Amato. But is this really the image of Tennessee men's basketball you want emblazoned on the minds of every potential recruit in America?

Maybe this is why the lady vols let Duke have a 19 pt lead in the first half. ?In shock.
Wildcat p.s. I'm still hoarse from screaming "No!!!" when I saw the headline about UNCG crushing Davidson. Maybe I shouldn't admit this, but it does make me feel better to note that it was the Wildkittens, not the 'cats.
